Earn a sustainable yield and interact with DeFi apps you are already familiar with, all anchored by Bitcoin's unparalleled security.
PrimeLayer is a flexible and future-proof BTC Layer 2 that represents a paradigm shift in Bitcoin Layer 2 (L2) design - merging the security of Bitcoin, the programmability of Ethereum, and the scalability and speed of zk-rollups to offer the first truly compromise-free, production-ready BTCFi L2.
Most BTC L2s root their state directly to Bitcoin blockspace, a design that cannot scale—competition for blockspace slows transactions and drives fees to unsustainable levels. Others rely on a small pool of centralized entities, sacrificing Bitcoin’s security for scalability. PrimeLayer avoids both: zk-rollups enable trustless, near-instant confirmations, with periodic anchoring to Bitcoin via merge-mined tags for final settlement.
zk-Rollups
zk-rollups enable best-in-class transaction speed and scalability.
Merge-mined tags
Merge-mined tags avoid blockspace congestion and fee escalation.
DeFi Apps
Users can earn a sustainable yield and interact with DeFi apps they already use, all while their assets remain anchored to Bitcoin’s unparalleled security.
PrimeLayer integrates seamlessly with today’s Web3 infrastructure. Compatible with the wallets, dev tools, and standards developers already use, while securing everything through Bitcoin’s base layer. PrimeLayer is also designed to be infrastructure-agnostic. Today, it leverages Syscoin’s AuxPoW, chainlocks, and data availability, but its modular design allows migration to any equivalent infrastructure if conditions change. This ensures state continuity and long-term resilience, with Bitcoin always serving as the ultimate settlement layer.

1.
PRML Token Emissions
100% of PRML token emissions are allocated to validators as a reward for their services.
2.
Rewarding Validators
In exchange for validators redirecting a portion of their emission rewards to fund liquidity pools on PrimeLayer’s native DEX, the pools reward validators by kicking back a percentage of their pool’s transaction fees.
3.
Liquidity Expansion
As liquidity expands, fee revenue for liquidity providers increases, and part of that value flows back to validators.
PrimeLayer is led by a team with over a decade of Bitcoin-native development experience. Unlike competitors from non-Bitcoin backgrounds, we’ve been solving the real scaling and security challenges since 2013.
